Abstract
A 6-week-old, female, mixed-breed dog with a clinical history of sudden onset of neurologic signs was presented for necropsy. The dog was diagnosed with suppurative and histiocytic meningoencephalitis based on necropsy findings and histopathology. Mycoplasma sp. was isolated in pure culture from the brain and meninges and was identified as Mycoplasma edwardii using DNA sequencing.
